Sanjeev, another great cheetah shot that is making me envious again! I like the colours in the background here a lot. Wonder if a slightly tighter crop would work? I'd be tempted to lighten the shadows on the cat some more.

Hi Sanjeev - The cheetah gave you a nice pose and head turn. The distant bg is nice with the layers of colors. You handled the mixed light well but there are some hot hls and the blacks of the tail are choked.
TFS,
Rachel

Cool cheetah image here like the background and the detail.

Awesome relaxed cheetah image !! What a regal animal ! The elevated fore ground creating the oof background makes the image for me. Its always a pity that it is almost impossible to get better exposure of these guys eyes after the sun has risen too far. The overall crop is perfectly balanced imo

Your RP is excellent Steve. Yeah the BG was sweet. Couldn't do much about that heap though.

Thank you Sanjeev, but as always, you have done all the hard work.
- Upped the exposure!!!!
- Upped the Temp a fraction
- Opened the shadows up
- Added some controlled Saturation to the BKG
- Added some controlled Saturation & Clarity to the FG
- Cleaned up, to a degree the BKG as suggested
The OP may well be very reflective, but there is no harm in occasionally giving the image another nudge and taking it up another notch if that's ok.
Couldn't do much about that heap though.
Most vehicles carry a spade .
Glad to hear you had some excellent sightings on your trip, well worth the travel and early starts.

Dear Sanjeev,
One of your nicest images from this last trip, as far as I am concerned. Nice POV, well framed, love the stance from this cheetah.
The BG and its colours, just lovely - I see what Steve means about cleaning up the blobs, they are probably just trees but look a bit like dust bunnies, taming them makes a heck of a difference.
Curious about the dung-like pile, not sure it is actually dung?
Great work Sanjeev and some very nice touches from Steve, I truly enjoyed viewing
Have a lovely week-end,
